Mega-T / Mega-E Family Bit-Based Inverse Multiplexer

Choose the Mega-T/Mega-E family of inverse multiplexers if you want to deploy the simplest, bit-based approach at the Layer 1 level of the serial bitstream. Combine up to four T1 or E1 lines to create a single, logical, high-speed data channel. The advantage is that this method is entirely independent of the protocols of the data being transmitted and of the network equipment and can be used in virtually any application

The Mega-T Multiple T1 Inverse Multiplexer bridges the gap between T1 and T3. Inverse multiplexing up to four T1 lines, Mega-T creates a single logical data channel which is the sum of the T1 bandwidths.  On the DTE side, Mega-T provides an EIA530 (V.35/RS449) or HSSI port operating at data rates in multiples of 1.344 or 1.528 Mbps, up to
6.112 Mbps. On the network side, T1 interfaces support all standard framing and coding formats and include optional built-in CSUs.

To ensure that your communication link remains available if an individual T1 line does not meet your performance requirements, Mega-T can automatically fall back to a lower data rate. Mega-T can automatically restore a dropped T1 line when performance again meets your requirements.

Mega-T includes advanced monitoring and alarm functions to help you maintain your critical communication channels. And built-in diagnostics ensure that you can isolate problems quickly and accurately.

Applications

Here, the Mega-T inverse multiplexes 4 T1 lines to create a high-speed 6.112 channel for a LAN internetworking
application. The public network can be accessed directly through T1 access lines, as shown, or through an M13
multiplexer and T3 access line.
